Day 5

Okay everyone, I posted the pictures of this weekend on Facebook for you, so if you are smooth enough to navigate your way to my page, they are available for viewing under the North Carolina Life album.

GUESS WHAT?!?!? Danny and Vanessa have safely returned from Europe and I am going to see them tomorrow to find out all about the honeymoon and see all of their fabulous pictures! I cannot wait. I was feeling a little D & V deprived, to be honest, and I’m actually looking forward to some over-shares!

I think all the fun of July and August (so far) has me tuckered right out! I suppose that this is a good thing though, because I report for duty at North Elementary bright and early at 7:30 next Monday morning. Seven days of freedom left, so I’d better be ready for the long days to come.

We had the Mary Kay party today, which was a success. There was plenty of food to be eaten and Tyson and Grey’s Mama made us a homemade cream cheese pound cake, which we topped with Nutella and Whipped Cream (from the can!). It was almost as amazing as the cake from last night, but I’m beginning to get the feeling that Mama wants to fatten me up. Oh! We took before and after photos at the party, maybe I’ll post them later.

Remember how I told you yesterday that Atlas was so tired he just fell asleep underneath my chair? Well tonight folks, I feel like falling asleep under my chair too!

And I just wanted to mention something I forgot about from last night. Tyson found the coolest cicada hanging on the leaf of one of their plants. It had just shed it’s shell (exoskeleton) and here is the picture.
